ABOUT THE ARTIST

Kenneth Diaz is a self-taught Puerto Rican American oil painter based in Omaha, Nebraska. His connection to art began at age nine, when he discovered an oversized book of Norman Rockwell illustrations in his mother’s collection. Although he initially chose a traditional college and career path rather than art school, he later returned to art and began developing a style that moved beyond technical illustration toward something more expressive.

​

Diaz’s work incorporates charcoal and layered color to create depth and explore subjects and themes that invite a closer look. His paintings have appeared primarily in solo exhibitions and regional group shows throughout the Midwest. In recent years, he has focused on refining his technique while pursuing themes that challenge viewers to consider the stories, memories, and possibilities held within familiar places.
